The Long Journey Home

[Mikhail Zhukov]

Mikhail quickly grabbed his gear and stood near the exit waiting for captain to finish his speech.

Yes,sir! Can we go save the ship now?

			Damn it universe that was not a challenge. 10 minutes till mission went to hell? I think this is new personal best right here. And if we jumped then what the hell is attacking us?! I really hope its not North Koreans.

 

[Arthur Campbell]

Arthur steadied himself as the ship calmed

Yes sir!

He saluted and strode after Alexander keeping up as best he could, his previously excited expression replaced by one of intense seriousness.

 

[J. D. Tsuba]

Hmm this could be a good chance to get to grips with my MDA Suit. I imagine something broke under the strain of escaping earths gravity, nothing to worry about.

...he lied to himself

 

[Aleksandra Zhukov]

Alexandra did not pause to respond properly, she simply saluted briefly before making her way to the armoury.

			What in the hell is going on here? What kind of forces could there possibly be to fight out here in space... surely not...

 

[Ray Ray]

			Problems already? This can't bode well...

Raymond rose from his seat as their squad leader gave the order, giving him only a short nod, as if trying to mask a rush of emotion. As he stood up he grabbed his sister's hand for a moment, squeezed hard, then let go as he followed Alexander's lead.

 

[Ray_Ray]

Ray paused slightly and smile at the show of of affection from her brother, following after him, taking out a palmtop and quickly doing some loadouts.

			Defensive mission so focus on holding the line, paxis enhancements on Raymond to provide covering support... Alexander could only have been that massive alpha from training so make sure he has defensive protocols...

Her mind was busy with thought, using her brother to guide the way and make sure she didn't bump into anything as she tried out various modifications.

 

[Universal_narration]

Both teams reach the armoury at approximately the same time. When you arrive there is a lady standing there arranging the field gear. She notices each of the captains and stands to attention.

"Meia Hoffman reporting for duty. I've been told Echo squad will be taking the port side defences and Sierra the Starboard. Though you can't do that without some weaponry, I am ship quartermaster. Good to see you are all rearing to go!"

Meia has short dyed blue hair down to her shoulders, slight of build though muscular for a woman. She has a British flag on her shoulder to denote her allegiance, on her other shoulder you see she has the Starseeker emblem. Though her rank denotes her as being part of the on board crew of which there are three squads. They are trained to fight though it is not their primary purpose.

OOC: In your next posts please post your load out at the end of it, you may still also talk amongst your team or to Meia while doing so if you wish.

 

['Ghost']

Upon arrival Ghost gives a nod to alexander, acknowleging his position as echo's captain. As he walks to his suit, he turns to Meia.

So do we know what it is we're fighting?

As he waits on a response he checks his suit, though not a speciality of his Ghost always checks his equipment. Force of habit. Taking hold of both his rifles, his sidearm and the additional equipment 'Pinpoint' he turns to meia, suited, and awaits her reply.

As he clips the final part of his Chi suit into place, leaving only his helmet off a small figure appears on his shoulder. She appears to be slim build, her uniform matching ghost's Chi suit. She turns to everyone, with a beaming smile.

Hi everyone, I'm Ghost's Sniper and reconnaisance assisting hologram. But you can call me Sarah.

After that she turns, pulls a phony salute, whilst winking she sticks out her tongue and hugs Ghost's face, to which he just grunts.

OOC: For clarification, I have an advanced rifle, a standard pistol, tracker, advanced skill: bravery and Pinpoint, loadout 55 in a Chi suit. As for sarah, think very much cortana from Halo =D. When it comes to her speech I will always put it in italics, it's not a brilliant way to distinguish between the two but I'm open to ideas about a better way ^^

 

[Universal_narration]

OOC: Check the weapon section of the pdfs, there they have the costs and the stats for each weapon. There are currently no different ammo types, we just use the one type.

Meia looks at 'Ghost' a little worried.

"I don't know too much sir. Just that they seem to be purely mechanical based beings that aren't replying to the bridge for any reason. They have minimal firepower however all their units carry large claws to tear apart their targets I assume. Carol mentioned that there was a few that had larger guns which are what hit us earlier. Bart will formulate a damage report soon but he is more concerned with evasive manoeuvres at this instance."

She nods. Then returns to equipping 'Ghost' with his apparels.

 

['Ghost']

Whilst suiting.

Calm down Meia, our first priority is the protection of the civilians on this vessel, you can rest assured that whilst at least one of my squad stands we will do everything in our power to fulfill this duty.

On his shoulder, grinning

He's a real sweetheart when you get to know him

After which Sarah giggles, at the comment Ghost swings his head around and knocks her off his shoulder, quickly sarah reacts and grabs hold of his shoulder.

Hey, that's mean ghost *with a pout*

Ghost turning away, ignoring the comment.

Other then the claws does the machinery have any other defining characteristics? Something I can use as a target?
